conceding. karl rove is saying this. they're going to dispute ohio. that's going on for an hour or something. >> about 45 minutes. >> stephanie: it was a revolt by fox anchors to say -- you know, tried to inject confusion. it was hilarious. >> he didn't even need ohio at that point. that was the other thing too is he had enough electoral votes. >> stephanie: they hadn't been called yet. >> if he had won colorado, it would have been over but they hadn't called colorado yet. they called ohio before they called colorado. >> stephanie: obviously the writing was on the wall. >> soon after colorado was called. >> stephanie: it was just a skit. >> is colorado really a state? i don't think so. >> stephanie: they're reporting something different that's on their chiron. president obama wins ohio and has been re-elected president. >> it contradicted the breaking news alert they sent out to people like me. they had to recall that e-mail news alert while they've got their crap together in the newsroom. >> stephanie: karl rove on his cell phone, it was like the koch

4-36. we're 4-4 in this election. that's amazing. >> stephanie: david, that's what i was saying. for some reason for me it feels sweeter this time around because it feels more inclusive. it feels -- and as i was saying, it is just this solid wall of obstructionism. nastiness, racism, whatever you want to call it that this president has had to deal with. do you know what i'm saying? wasn't that an amazing feeling last night? >> it was. that's really -- the tone that he took, you know and going forward which is what this has always been about and you look at the numbers. you look at how young people voted and the demographics here are only going to get better. >> stephanie: by the way another media story line that i've been talking about forever. how much do we hear this? the youth aren't going to turn out. there's no enthusiasm. it's so tight. this is what i'm saying, david. it was so -- it was so gratifying for so many of us because all of those stupid

media story lines turned out to be wrong right? >>et this turn out to be wrong. it was close. all of the battleground states. two, three points. he won -- eight or nine million less votes than he did four years ago but he will get 50% of the vote. the first democratic president bill clinton never did it, to win re-election -- to win both elections with more than 50% since fdr. >> stephanie: david, what does this mean for governing in terms of the senate has gone more democratic. obviously in such a closely-divided governance, what does that mean? >> well, they can still filibuster. and it does come down to mitch mcconnell. he either makes a deal. remember, he's up in two years. and the question does he want to hold on to power? does he make a deal? and if he does, does he get primary? we're looking at -- john boehner and mitch mcconnell have to

of course they didn't. that's what karl rove -- just enough doubt or confusion. people go oh, despite quibbling on conservative network fox news by karl rove, apparent hesitancy to accept defeat by mitt romney's camp. this is how this blew up in mitt romney's face on benghazi because he was listening to the lies on fox news. >> right. >> stephanie: that second debate. at any rate, mitt romney's campaign has taken marching orders from -- karl rove is saying wait. even though fox news, among all of the other networks has already declared ohio and the presidency for barack obama. >> that held up your bedtime by a good hour. >> stephanie: i was like what is going on here! i had already done my victory dance. yeah. so after networks including fox itself -- this is priceless. had called the state for obama chris wallace asked rove if he believed ohio's election had been decided. rove said no i don't. >> okay then. >> stephanie: this is premature, he said.

this is the guy again behind crossroads u.s.a. which gave tens of millions of dollars to mitt romney. >> crossroads gps. >> stephanie: whatever it is. yeah blah, blah, blah, blah. in the end obama didn't need ohio. obviously at some point -- it is just hilarious. and i enjoyed the skit. the skit. the megan kelley skit with the roving camera and the whole thing was hilarious. >> it will be repeated on "saturday night live." >> stephanie: chris in detroit, you're on "the stephanie miller show." hi chris. >> caller: how we doing today stephanie? >> stephanie: i'm doing pretty good. happy clappy. >> caller: unbelievable. i couldn't even drink last night. >> stephanie: really? that must have been bad. >> it was a little bit of depression. forward looking and a lot of hopefulness. we couldn't have done this without your hard work. you guys putting the truth out there every day. >> stephanie: thank you honey. >> hatred that the conservatives put out there, you know, they were exposed.

>> stephanie: i was saying that yesterday. this is -- and why i believe in many ways the president won is the right wing's narrative of him doesn't match reality. no matter what you think of the president or any of his policies for mitt romney to stand there and say take your hateful, angry campaign -- it is like what? does anyone really think the president's angry and hateful? >> a friend of mine who works in country radio, he's progressive himself but he can't really let the politics be known he said that he's getting so many hateful and racist things posted on his facebook page, he's had to block a whole lot of people. >> stephanie: if you think it was bad in the run-up to the election oi! denise in washington, you're on "the stephanie miller show." hello? denise? >> caller: hey, stephanie. how you doing? >> stephanie: good. go ahead. >> caller: i just had to tell you, i was like you. i fell asleep early. but i woke up in time to hear the beautiful words that our president was elected.

i said thank you for finally giving me the respect i'm entitled for being solely responsible for the president's re-election. >> i think john yarmouth had something to do with it, too. >> stephanie: from the great state of kentucky. good morning congressman. >> good morning, stephanie. >> stephanie: it is a good morning, is it not sir? >> oh, yeah. it is a fantastic morning. i've been watching you this morning -- actually watching is not a -- the accurate term because my eyes haven't focused yet. there was a lot of bourbon last night. >> stephanie: i'm guessing kentucky bourbon. yeah, me too. you and me both. so where do we even start? as you know, i've been railing against all of these media story lines that they've been feeding us for. the enthusiasm gap, the youth aren't going to turn out. it is so close it is so close. you know, look at what happened. what a great day to be an american, huh? >> well, it is. talking about that, obviously

kentucky was not in play in the presidential election. but we had literally hundreds of people who went to ohio to walk precincts and talk to voters in the cincinnati area and i think you know that makes a difference but the enthusiasm and the amount of time and energy that so many of kentuckians put into this race even when they knew that kentucky's electoral votes weren't in play is really inspiring. so it was great. i mean this is bittersweet. aspects to this. ben chandler lost in kentucky. which i thought was unfortunate. my good friend betty sutton in ohio northeastern ohio lost. but by in large, i mean you just can't -- overestimate the significance of the way this country averted attempts to

purchase -- >> stephanie: despite the efforts in so many states. that's what was really heartwarming. i said this. it is going to create a backlash. you're going to make people want to vote even more. look what happened right? >> guys like sheldon adelson and the koch brothers and even my good friend, steve cohen had a guy who spent $2 million of his own money running and barely -- i don't even think he got 25% of the vote in that district. the linda mcmahon -- everything. i'm just thrilled with the rejection of that whole concept. >> stephanie: money can't prop up bad candidates like mitt romney like linda mcmahon. i said this as a woman congressman, we've talked about this. they love to do that story oh, the gender gap is gone. i knew it wasn't going -- this was the year of the woman, was it not? >> well, certainly. with tammy baldwin and clair claire

mccaskill, of course. and the new hampshire -- >> stephanie: tammy duckworth elizabeth warren. >> i knew i had some conversations with tammy. what a great person, a great american. just been -- it's been an inspirational day. >> stephanie: congressman, i have to say personally, i could not have been happier to see joe walsh and allen west go -- somebody particularly virulent, nasty, obstructionist republicans in your body. what do you think? >> well, absolutely. and these are the flamethrowers. and that's -- people have asked me all the time, what do you think -- where do you think the american people are? i said the american people are rejecting craziness. they don't want loud people in the government. they want people who actually are dedicated to making government work. not just to basically sink the ship. alan west was one of those people. joe walsh obviously a maniac. you know.

so yeah, that's the big lesson that comes out of this. >> stephanie: i don't know if you've heard anything but we're hearing this morning there may even be a recount in the michele bachmann race because it was so close. >> yeah. well that's another -- even if she ends up being re-elected, the fact that she was -- she made it by the skin of her teeth. she's a prodigious fund-raiser and all of that but people still don't want people who are -- who just want to burn the house down. and that's what -- she's one of those people. so i think the atmosphere will be better in the next congress. i really do. this kind of irrational obama hatred and -- obviously has to disappear because there's no mileage to be gained anymore in that. so i think things will be better. >> stephanie: i love that my producer just held the sign up that said john yarmuth won last night, too. i'm like no kidding. >> congratulations on your win.

>> stephanie: of course he won. he's john yarmuth. he's beloved! [ laughter ] >> thank you. i had a very gratifying victory. i think a very special relationship with my district. obviously with the stephanie liberal -- stephanie miller show. >> stephanie: same thing. i'll legally change my name. >> i can keep coming on for the next two years anyway on your show. >> stephanie: congressman, do you think there is going to be any difference in how you know, the house -- obviously the senate now has become even more democratic which is great but are we going to have the same kind of on be structionism and gridlock especially with this fiscal cliff coming up? >> i actually don't think we will. i've talked to enough republicans over the last six months or so. to get the feeling that they really are tired of the game that's being played. and some very, very nice,

thoughtful freshmen, even though they vote crazy, they're reasonable people. this isn't the best way to spend my life. they really do want to get something done. they're getting heat from their constituents too. saying we may not like government all the time but we need one. we need one that works. so i think there really is going to be an effort to move things along. obviously now that the president is holding all of the cards in terms of leverage, they all face the charge of irrationally blocking anything if they don't try to get along. particularly with the senate now. that's a huge difference with the new complexion of the senate. >> stephanie: absolutely. i think boy, that was a pretty loud message last night, wasn't it congressman? the republicans in congress didn't hear that, i don't know when they will right? >> absolutely. my senator mitch mcconnell he's up for re-election in 2014.

he's going to face a stiff challenge and he's already being -- painted with that -- rightfully so, the obstructionist label. if he doesn't -- i think he's pragmatic enough to understand that if he's seen as the person who holds up everything and he's going to risk being sent back to kentucky. >> stephanie: that's right congressman yarmuth. he's the one so famously that came out and said his number one priority was to make sure the president doesn't get re-elected. okay. you lost! number one priority. now what is your number one priority? >> exactly. and that is the statement i made last night in my victory speech. but his number one priority right now because i know mitch very well will be to get mitch re-elected. i think you're going to see a different person in that position. >> stephanie: let's all hope so. i thought -- boy, i was glad that mitt romney was so unequivocal last night. he said this election is over.

the american people want us to stop partisan bickering. >> stop it. it's hard. >> i agree. >> stephanie: ann romney wants us to stop it. >> ann: stop it. >> there's the giggle. >> stephanie: congressman yarmuth, we'll talk to you as we roll along. thank you. congratulations. >> great to talk to you. congratulations. >> stephanie: go sleep off that bourbon. >> mcconnell can go back to the galapagos islands. >> stephanie: we feel badly about the skeeters of the world. i forget which one this was. >> skeeter stock. >> stephanie: skeeter stock didn't go so well. >> thanks to your generous donations to skeeter pac obama derangement pictures presents the film of the year. >> we're the laughingstock of the world right now. >> come see skeeter stock. >> i thought was a very good president. obama isn't. >> three days of peace, love and
